Tautoga onitis (L.) 
Recorded by Perley (1852, p. 191) as having been introduced into St. John 
harbour, but it is not known there now. Except for a single specimen taken 
in Passamaquoddy bay in 1909 or 1910, there is no evidence of its normally 
entering the Fundy region. 
Mola mola, Linn. 
The fish has never been observed in the Bay of Fundy in the work carried 
on by the Atlantic Biological Station. Cox (1896 a, p. 75) has reported it from 
St. John harbour. It must only very rarely enter the Bay. 
Sehastes marinus (L.) 
Quite common and of all sizes in the Bay of Fundy, Passamaquoddy bay, 
and the St: Croix river, at depths of five fathoms or more, the females frequently 
found with eggs containing eyed young. The spawning individuals at least 
move out into deep water in the latter part of the summer, when the larve can 
be found at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy and up its centre for some distance. 
This fish is not abundant enough for the records to be conclusive, but the latter 
indicate that the adults may be in Passamaquoddy bay from April to December, 
and longer outside. The young may remain in both places throughout the year. 
Caught on long lines and in the shrimp trawl. Reported by Perley (1852, p. 
184) to the east of St. John, and we found it in 1919 in St. Mary bay. Also 
at Grand Manan and off Seal island, N.S. 
Triglops ommatistius, Gilbert. 
We obtained several specimens of this species in April and July 1919, in 
Passamaquoddy bay, with the shrimp trawl in about 15 fathoms of water, but 
otherwise we have not seen it. An immigrant from the north. 
Myoxocephalus aeneus, (Mitchill). 
Common in shallow water in the Bay of Fundy and at the mouth of Passa- 
maquoddy bay, but véry rare in as far as St. Andrews. All sizes are found. 
Common in St. Mary bay and the Annapolis basin, but rare in Minas basin, 
although both adults and young were found. Taken in the seine and shrimp 
trawl. 
Myoxocephalus scorpius (L.) 
syn. M. groenlandicus. 
Very common in shallow water everywhere and of all sizes. Large indi- 
viduals are occasionally taken in depths as great as 15 fathoms. A half-grown 
individual was taken in 50 fathoms off Campobello island in February, 1919. 
The only fish remaining near the shore during the coldest part of the year. 
The larve are found as early as February and on through the spring. Taken 
in weirs, seine, and gill net, and on long lines. We have taken it in the Anna- 
polis basin and St. Mary bay, and at Yarmouth; also at St. John, N. B. and 
Abbott’s harbour, near Yarmouth, N.S. It does not occur at the head of the 
bay where collections were made east and west of Cape Blomidon.
